Daily Reflection: Friday, January 7
Friday, January 7
Today’s Gospel of Jesus healing the man with leprosy is a wonderful account of two people’s encounter. The leper is brave and even dares to approach Jesus and converse with him. This violates the code of conduct for lepers. Then Jesus stops, listens to him and touches him. Jesus “touches” the leper. That is forbidden. Would that each of us would get rid of any fears that we might have and know that it is God who inspires us to go beyond our fears and even comfort zone. Look what Jesus can do!
